Transfer cutting board keeps kitchen benchtops clean

The Transfer cutting board helps a novice chef look like a professional--

I’m not sure about TV celebrity chefs any more…nothing personal, but they have really raised the bar when it comes to preparing food for guests. Are we expected to smear, tower or stack all our food - or do we just arrange it in one messy heap? Who knows? However, if you do want to look like a professional - the Transfer board could help. Its simple but clever design helps you move chopped food to a single plate quickly and effortlessly - which will make it easier to cook…and to impress.

The Transfer cutting board is made from solid beech which has been oiled with biological linseed oil. You simply insert your plate and then slide your freshly prepared ingredients on to it. Then you are ready for the next ingredient. It can fit a plate with a diameter of 23cm (9.1”) and up to 2.7cm (1.1”) in height.

The board is produced in Berlin, Germany by designers Chris & Ruby

Corky the Kinetic Mouse - no batteries required

Corky from designer Adele Peters, a finalist is this year's Greener Gadgets Design Competition...

Freeing oneself from the shackles of wired PC periphery does come at a cost. In order to power such liberation, users rely on batteries. Even rechargeable ones impede workflow when they run out of juice. Designer Adele Peters proposes capturing the energy from moving, clicking and scrolling and using it to power Corky, a kinetic mouse made from recycled materials.

A finalist in the Greener Gadgets Design Competition, the eco-friendly peripheral has an element within the body to harvest energy from movement, a similar setup is fitted to the scroll wheel and a piezoelectric element stores energy from each click of the left and right buttons. As its name suggests, the outer shell is made from waterproofed recycled cork and all the plastics are from recycled stock too. Regional material sourcing and assembly and end of life recycling add more green points to its credentials.

Precise details of internal electrics were not outlined in the design so it's not known whether Corky will be able to harvest enough energy from user movement to enable consistent operation, such things will no doubt be answered as and when a prototype results.

The concept just missed the bronze medal in the audience vote at the Greener Gadgets 2010 Conference in New York last month, coming fourth behind a USB device charger that is powered by interior light, a rocking chair kinetic device charger and the winner, a mobile phone app that provides consumers with pertinent food information from local growers.

Lenovo S10B Mini Optical Mouse - White: $6.80

Maple Cell Phone Concept

The Maple Phone from 2 designers that won Silver at the International Design Excellence Awards 2008 (IDEA) competition for the Free Wind, best room air conditioner design.
Hyun Jin Yoon and Eun Hak Lee created a camera phone concept covered in thin wooden film, with touch sensitive buttons that light up through the housing when you touch the phone.

The cell phone measures 4.5 x 10.4 x 9.8 cm and is a slider with functions like calling, texting, MP3 player and digital camera. It provides basic cell phone functionalities in a cool and unique handset inspiring special emotion with its soft feel and a natural look.
The touch-sensitive sensors located in the back of the housing turn on the backlight, responding to your finger touch, bringing the wood to life. It would probably use the capacitive touch technology, which is a special panel coated with indium tin oxide or a similar material capable to conduct continuous electrical current across the sensor.
Maple LCD display reveals itself from back as you slide the phone.

This wood phone concept would be manufactured at lower costs and it'd surely be available at an affordable price, much lower than the 3500 Euro Gresso phones.
Other wood phones use special plastics instead of wood, both for the keep it green idea and for an easier manufacturing process.

Brodmann Blades - the table tennis paddle you wear

The equipment used for table tennis is so basic, you would think there was no way of streamlining it further... There’s a table, a net, a ball and two bare-bones paddles - what could you possibly get rid of? As it turns out, those paddles don’t really need their handles. And according to the makers of Brodmann Blades, eliminating the handle and sticking your hand inside the paddle will make you a better player.

Each Broadmann Blade consists of two paddle faces, a front and a back, with a gap between them. You just insert your hand in the gap between the faces (sandwich-style), stick your thumb through the thumb hole on the side, and wear it like a glove.

Why is this this a good idea? According to the company website, there are several reasons. First of all, they say, the Blades are more comfortable than traditional paddles because you’re not constantly clutching a handle. You also get a lot more sensory feedback, as you can feel exactly where and how the ball hits the paddle. They’re also supposedly more intuitive, as you just move your hand towards the ball, as opposed to allowing for a paddle that sticks out from your hand. The result of these benefits, we’re told, include better ball control, a faster, easier game, and a superior backhand

Broadmann Blades are not yet approved for international competition, although they apparently received a good reaction when recently presented to the International Table Tennis Federation. Company representative Fredi Brodmann told us that they expect the ITTF to approve the Blades later this year.

If you’re interested in picking up a pair, they only come in a set that includes two paddles, four balls, two toweled wristbands and a carrying case. The whole thing costs $US100, and is available through several retailers listed on the Brodmann Blades website

Sony Vaio Conceptual Transparent Screen Laptop

I received an email from a friend of mine about the new latest conceptual technology gadgets which we expect will be coming out in the market soon.
It included a Sony Vaio laptop which has a transparent screen. You can see through the screen if the laptop is off.

 

  

What’s the future laptop will look like? The Japanese consumer electronics giant, Sony has introduced its new VAIO Zoom that looks like future concept. It’s a cool, sleek and stylish notebook which features a touch-sensitive keypad, as well as a holographic glass screen that able to go transparent when turned off.

For sure, an innovative and cool holographic glass screen that involved in VAIO Zoom doesn’t really exist in the market yet, it’s just a concept for now. Anyway, it’s pretty sure that many consumers would like to see a high-tech and fantastic laptop like this in the future.

The Ten worst Passwords on the web

You’re not fooling anyone with that “123456” password of yours. “Password” isn’t much better, and sorry ladies, but “princess” is also no good. These are among the findings in a report released by Imperva, a data security firm that analyzed 32 million passwords recently exposed in the Rockyou.com breach. Not only did they identify the most common, and thus easily-guessable passwords, but they also suggested some effective methods for creating secure ones.

Rockyou.com is a website where users can develop apps to use on social networking sites. Last December, a hacker gained access to all of Rockyou’s members’ usernames, email addresses and passwords (which had been stored in plain, unencrypted text) and posted the passwords to the Internet. Given that many people use the same username and password for all of their online dealings, such as banking, the results could have been disastrous. Fortunately, the perpetrator seemed to be mainly interested in exposing Rockyou’s insufficient security, as they didn’t post the usernames or emails.

Imperva analyzed the hacked data, and compiled their findings in the Consumer Password Worst Practices report. Of the 32 million passwords involved, the ten most common were:

• 123456
• 12345
• 123456789
• Password
• iloveyou
• princess
• rockyou
• 1234567
• 12345678
• abc123

It was found that almost half of the members used names, slang words, proper words, or trivial passwords such as consecutive digits, or adjacent keys on the keyboard.

So, what sort of password SHOULD people be using?

Imperva made the following recommendations:

• It should contain at least eight characters (30% of users had passwords that were six letters or less)
• It should contain a mix of four different types of characters (i.e: upper case, lower case, numbers, symbols)
• It should not be a name, word, or contain any part of your name or email address

The report also suggests using a different password for every website, not sharing your passwords with third parties, and using the first letters of each word in a sentence as your password (For instance, “this little piggy went to market” would be “tlpWENT2m”).

“The data provides a unique glimpse into the way that users select passwords and an opportunity to evaluate the true strength of passwords as a security mechanism,” said Imperva CTO Amichai Shulman. “Never before has there been such a high volume of real-world passwords to examine.”
